VIJAY PROTEST @ NAGAPATTINAM

‘Velayudham’ Song

While addressing the large fans gathering at the protest rally in Nagapattinam recently, Vijay also took some time to talk about his film ‘Velayudham’. Vijay said ‘Velayudham’ will more than compensate for ‘Kavalan’ with enough action and masala. He said ‘Velayudham’ has two kuthu songs to make the people get up and dance. But there is another emotional song which has become the favourite of Vijay. He said that, though the song was written for a different situation, when ever he hears it he just can’t stop thinking of his fans. The said song goes like this: Rathathin Rathame En Iniya Udanpirappe Sonthathin Sonthame Naan Iyangum Uyir Thudipe Ammavum Appavum Ellame Neethaane En Vazhkai Unakkallavaa Sethaalum Puthaithaalum Chediyaga Mulaithaalum  En Vaasam Unakkallavaa Vijay sang the song loud and was seen visibly moved while singing.

‘Velayudham’ to release before Diwali?

With Vijay wrapping up the shooting of ‘Velayudham’ fast on heels, it is being spread on airs that there might be chances of releasing the movie much before Diwali. Just when the movie was launched as a grand affair, it was announced that producer Aascar Ravichandran is planning to release the movie for the festive occasion of Diwali. In fact, Vijay and other actors had given long call sheet for this movie. But now it looks like the shooting will be completed within short span of time.

The reason?

Vijay had no big projects much before the release of ‘Kaavalan’. But soon as the film turned to be a good hit, the actor was thrown into absolute surprise as he was called back for Shankar’s ‘Nanban’ followed by an incredulous surprise of Manirathnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ in which performs lead role alongside Vikram and Vishal.

NANBAN STILL

Vishal and Vijay fight in Andhra

In Kollywood the young heroes are very good friends so much so they amicably decide on the release dates of their films, even if it requires change of dates. But their dictates are hijacked by the producers when their films are set for release in Andhra.

Vishal and Vijay have huge following in Andhra Pradesh through their dubbed Tamil films. All their Tamil films are invariably dubbed in Telugu unless the Tamil film happens to be a remake of a Telugu film.

Come this March, Vijay and Vishal will take the box office stage on the same day. Vishal's 'Theeratha Vilaiyattu Pillai' and Vijay's 'Vettaikaaran' will be pitted against each other on March 5. 'Theeratha Vilaiyattu Pillai' as 'Khilladi' and 'Vettaikaaran' as 'Puli Vetta' are releasing on the same day in Andhra Pradesh.

What looks impossible in Kollywood is happening just like that in Tollywood.
